Residents in Edinburgh and the Lothians waiting on Christmas deliveries to arrive may be hit with delays.
Popular courier DPD has announced that the Royal Mail strike action has put extra pressure on their services and around five per cent of next-day deliveries will be suspended and will have a one-day waiting time. Meanwhile some postcodes in the UK could face a two or three-day wait.
The delays comes as 14,000 Royal Mail workers staged a walkout, although DPD confirms that most areas will not be affected, reports the Mirror.
